help

Hi
I am struggling with something which i guess is simple - but could not find a straight solution - hence this post.
This is my scenario (i run a institute):
1. I have a CCK content type in which the faculty enters the observation of each student
2. Each student's (drupal) role is defined by the program he is sighned up for say progA, progB and ProgC
3. Further within each program (or role) each child is in a different class or group - for this i have created a profile field called student_group - say groupX and GroupY

I run a small education & child dev. organisation in bangalore and its website - www.geniekids.com

Need some help with niggling issues with drupal - specially with cck and views

if you are willing to help me - sms me your number at on 9845045833 or email me at geniekids@gmail.com with your contact number or skype or yahoo or gmail id and we can chat / voip- talk

thanks in advance

glad to start of the discussion here. :)

Recently there has been a lot of talk about usability problems. I think the solution to this also lies in a better help system.

Drupal is not a trivial piece of software, that we can make a interface and expect the users to understand everything about it. So lets face the problem.

I just created a new drupal group. I got an e-mail saying that my submission was still pending. The e-mail suggested that I broaden the definition of my group but gave no reason why my group was still pending..

It kinda leaves me hanging. I have no way of responding to the suggestion or explaining why I chose the geographical location I chose. And I don't know if that if complying with that suggestion is what is keeping my group form being approved.

Hey all,
This is my first post on groups.drupal.org. I attended Drupalcon last week, and it was my first opportunity to learn about Drupal.

Attached I have shared the first revision summary of lessons I learned over the week at the conference. I created the document to help new Drupalers figure where to go for Drupal resources/site building help. I encourage everyone to check it out, you may find some information on Drupal resources you never knew about.

Moved to official ideas list at http://drupal.org/node/237899

Staring with some of the things here and some thinking and discussion here's a proposed proposal for a coding project:

Drupal's help system is fairly incomplete. At drupalcon there were many examples where the lack of a help system contributed to its usability woes. This project aims to enhance Drupal's help system through a pluggable, extensible help system API.

Hello,

I have a problems with ecommerce-5.x-3.4. I install this module and the payment gateway for la caixa (Spanish bank). I configure the payment gateway but when go to checkout, a page says that i need the i18n_language() function that is in the i18n module.

Then I install this module, and the payment gateway work fine. But in the ecommerce section, i have and error when i click into E-Commerce -> Products. This error is:

Hello all!

It's been a year full of surprises with Drupal. Even at every second you glance at this node, it gets more worldwide attention.

However, in our case here in the Philippines... we are slowly becoming a Joomla country.

Here's one evidence:
1) Google Trends for Joomla! in the Philippines
^-- will return a good trend for Joomla.
2) Google Trends for Drupal in the Philippines
^-- will return no result.

I'm not worried whether Drupal is preferred by developers or not. I'm worried because our developers doesn't have much to hear, see, feel and even try about Drupal, unlike how the Joomla community do it here in our country. Because I love Drupal so much, I'm a bit anxious (depressed sometimes) about it.

A list of experiences --that I hope could explain myself:

[A] A client wants a community website developed using a CMS, all he can say at the top of his lungs is the word "Joomla!". Don' worry, he did not faint. I did (trying to convince him about the benefits of Drupal. Alas, I got his consent.).

[B] I spoke in front of some of our top businessmen to pitch the goodness of open source (esp. Drupal & Plone for CMS/Enterprise CMS); after the talk they asked,

Hi,

I want to have PDF files associated with each video node. However, when I attach files to Video content types and publish the node, the files do not show up on the node page. I've tried this with other nodes (Story, custom CCK nodes) and the attachments show up fine. In the video content type the attachments don't even appear in the Edit screen.

Anyone know how to fix this? What's going on?

Thanks

I have a feature requirement I am trying to work out for a new site I am building for a client. However, I am not sure how to proceed with this feature, and would like some advice. I've tried posting in the regular drupal forums, and asking in the various IRC chats, but have not been able to raise any suggestions, so now I turn to you!
